Before Use
5
Macintosh Users
Computer
• Macintosh Computers
• CPU: PowerPC G3, 300 MHz or faster.
• RAM: 32 MB (64 MB or more recommended).
• CD-ROM drive.
• A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).
• A PCI bus SCSI card (Ultra SCSI compatible with an external SCSI connector,
such as Adaptec’s PowerDomain 2930 card is recommended).
Note
For details about how to install the SCSI card, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Operating System (OS)
Mac OS 8.1/8.5/8.6/9/9.1 (Except for Classic API with Mac OS X)
CD Writing Software
The CRW2200SX drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc.
When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2200SX
drive.
Note
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Hard Drive Space
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100 MB of
free space) on the hard drive. If you want to create an image file containing all the
data to be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will
need as much hard drive space as that data (up to 900 MB in total). However, this
additional hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are writing
directly from a hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).
About disk image files
You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an
image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to
the documentation that came with your CD writing software.
